Questions about the Escape
Is the Escape good for above-ground pools?
It is the Dolphin built for them: light at 14 lb, rated for pools up to 33 ft, and at home on vinyl liner as well as gunite, fiberglass and tile. It works in in-ground pools too.
How is it different from a cordless robot?
Cordless robots need 2 to 4 hours of charging for one cycle. The Escape plugs into a standard outlet, so it is always ready and can run cycle after cycle. It costs about 5 cents an hour to operate.
Can I schedule cleanings?
The standard power supply starts a cycle at the press of a button. Choose the Automation Timer power supply at checkout to run the Escape automatically every 24, 48 or 72 hours.
What filters does it use?
The MaxBin™ basket, 50% larger than standard Dolphin filters, holds leaves, dirt and sand and empties in seconds. NanoFilter™ panels snap in for fine debris and algae.
How long does set-up take?
Under 2 minutes. There is no assembly and no booster pump: connect the cable to the power supply, plug it into a standard outlet and drop the Escape in the pool.
What does the 2-year warranty cover?
Maytronics warrants the robot against defects in materials and workmanship for 2 years. Service is available through 1,200+ Dolphin dealers. Read the full warranty.
What if it isn't right for my pool?
Try it in your own pool for 30 days. If it isn't right, return it with no restocking fee; you pay to ship the original product back. If you exchange it for another model, we'll ship the replacement free. See the return policy.
